Agriophara leptosemela is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia, [1] the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Queensland. [2]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are ashy-grey, with well-defined black markings. The veins tend to be streaked with blackish and there is a suffused spot on the costa at about one-third and another similar on the costa before the middle, both indicating unexpressed fasciae. There is a slender line from the base of the costa to the anal angle. Another similar one is placed immediately beneath, but not reaching the base or the anal angle, and a third similar streak is found from the base to near the anal angle, terminating in a suffused patch of scales. A suffused dot is found midway in the disc near the termination of the first line and resting on its upper extremity. There is a rather thick suffused streak at the termination of the first streak to below the middle of the hindmargin. A few scattered black scales are found above and below this. The hindwings are whitish-grey, darker posteriorly. [3]
